Bought it for my husband and so far he thinks it is just as good as the higher priced ones, at least for what we use it for. My husband installed it into our Toy Hauler and it works great!

This is a well-built product for the price. I've had one hanging in my garage for just over a year and have had no problems with the ratcheting feature. However the hose has developed cracks and is now leaking. After discovering the hose leaking I carefully inspected it and found several cracks along the length of the hose. The reel is not longer a good deal if you have to replace the hose within a year...

I also have a version of this reel made by Cyclone Pneumatic hanging in my shop for about three years and have had no issues with it.

I couldnt understand the yellow hose but this hose reel is very smooth in retracting and unwinding. Easy to install.

Tool Force A-C3 High Pressure Spray Gun

Tool Force A-C3 High Pressure Spray Gun
  • High-pressure spray gun ideal for painting new work for covering up damaged repairs
  • Pistol grip and a trigger for comfortable operation
  • 1.8 millimeter nozzle
  • 1 liter cup and 1/4-inch nozzle
  • Requires a 2 to 3 HP compressor (not included)

I was pleasantly surprised upon opening the box and finding a very nicely made paint gun. Don't know how the Chinese can manufacture such a nice piece of equipment for that price, expecially considering that someone has to make a profit on it.

One drawback: The instruction manual was nearly useless. A couple of springs and some gaskets were included in the box but there was no indication whatsoever where they were to be used. No instruction on use of air and paint knobs...in fact, save the box to find labels for the various parts of the gun. No breakdown of parts for assembly or disassembly or ordering replacements, either. That lost a rating star.

Aside from that, I had 12 each 4'x8' wooden latices to paint, and chose an oil based paint. Don't know yet how it will work with latex, but I assume you don't need an additive for lubrication as you do with the airless guns when using latex. Didn't have any info on what viscosity was acceptable to the gun, or how to measure it, so just poured the paint in out of the can. Hooked up to my compressor and started to spray. Worked like a charm. I fiddled a bit with the air and paint knobs but couldn't tell any difference and didn't want to get away from what was working. Used about 7/8 gallon of paint to finish all 12 pieces in about two or three hours of spraying. I'm sure I'd have run out of paint and patience using a brush or roller for the job.

Used mineral spirits and a rag to clean the sprayer. One thing to be sure to check is the two holes in the side of the front piece that eject only air to control the shape of the spray. Used a small brad to clean them and then worked with mineral spirits a bit more.

I'm now sold on this kind of painting. Beats heck out of buying spray cans for such projects. I've already got another project in mind: painting several rocking chairs on the front porch.

One caution: Be sure to use breathing protection and a face mask for eye protection.

I have been using paint spraying equipment for over 40 years.

This is a good cheap high pressure 50-70 gun. It shoots well at 40psi, and I would personally never go over 50 which is guns minimum. If you have to go to 70, your paint/reducer mix is probably to thick. A good rule of thumb is that the paint after reducing should be just between a drip and a run, but closer to a drip when viewing it off of the funnel screen (You are using a funnel screen, aren't you?) or test stick.

The so-called no drip function sometimes drips.

The body is painted and it is effected by thinners.

The locking mechanism is iffy and you need to take care when you have a full pot in order not

to think it is locked down and you spill the whole frigging thing all over yourself and the floor and whatever else gets in the way. (Been there, done that)

To the gent that could not figure out the controls, the top one is fan/air adjust, the bottom one is fluid adjust, and if you want to control the air intake of most guns you need to add a small gauge/control valve or a simple screw valve (PH5516 is what I use) before the separator, or just rely on the compressor valve.

A word to the wise, at 70psi, you will be using 9cfm consumption which will put a small compressor through its paces and because it is constantly going will add a lot of water to the system. You should always spray at the minimum pressure required for the job.

This is a good gun, but not a $300.00 Devilbiss.

Take the time to clean it out with the same reducer you used for the paint (Two gallons of reducer for one gallon of paint; one to thin, one to clean up) and to the point that

it comes out clear, and use a small brush to flush down the nozzle and cup areas (sometime soaking all the nozzle parts) and the gun should last for many years.

I bought this gun a couple of weeks ago to paint an old jon boat. It did a GREAT job, considering what I paid for it. I used very thick marine paint, and it shot it on with no problems. I have an old crappy compressor and it still did a good job. Paint was even and did not clog up or cause sags.

If you are thinking about it, and are scared by the price, don't be. It is worth every penny you pay for it. You can find pictures of the paint job on my boat @ in the forum section under duck boats.

Oh my gosh, this is a fantastic add to anyone's tool box. I have toyed with the idea of getting one of these type sprayers for months, possibly years. Just never really knew quite how to use it or what I would use it on even though I have used many paints and painting equipment on many projects....Finally I decided I would get this sprayer..it was cheap and got decent if not great reviews...Well I would like to continue the great reviews. This product is light weight but solid feeling. Well built. Comes ready to uee. Easy to clean. Simple in application, just fill the container, set it, seal it (which will make sense to you after you actually see it) and hook it up to your compressor and go. As some of the other reviews say, it takes a bit to get used to the paint volume and air adjustment, but just fool with it and test it out on something and go to town. It never oversprayed and caused the project to run, had great coverage and very paint efficient. I had used a cordless Graco model that not only wnet thru paint fast, but was 20 times the cost and eventually broke after about 5 hours. Lesson learned. This unit does come with a few extra parts and as other reviews say the manual is not very cleear on usage or where these parts will go if needed eventually, but for the price I am not too worried about that....and I do not feel this unit will need any fixing as it feels very well put together. i only have one complaint...i wish I had purchased this a long time ago!!!!!

Bought to paint a fence, but found it exceeds my original expectaion.

Prop: Solid built, drop to garage floor many times, still works fine. Paint spray is fine and good.

Cons: only thing I found is manual not detail for the first time users.

Best value.

Ingersoll Rand 311A 6-Inch Heavy-Duty Air Dual-Action Quiet Sander

Ingersoll Rand 311A 6-Inch Heavy-Duty Air Dual-Action Quiet Sander
  • Ultra quiet dual action sander ideal for sophisticated, fine-detail work
  • Features a built-in silencer that muffles noise as you work
  • Dual-action pad motion produces swirl-free finishes
  • Adjustable built-in regulator offers positive speed control
  • Weighs 4 pounds; 1-year limited warranty

I like this sander very much. It is all that was advertised. The only thing that I do not care for is that it is a bit more air hungry than others that I have used. This would be less of a problem with a Very High CFM air compressor. A minimum CFM requirement would have been useful in making a choice. Still, for the money, it is a great buy.

Why on earth is there an air tool without any mention of the compressed air requirements? I saw several reviews with somewhat obscure warnings to "make sure your compressor will handle it". I don't know what its pressure and volume requirements are, so I have to search its website. Of course I can and will do that, but such a fundamental spec should be there. (Dimensions, Weight, power requirements/air requirements)

My air compressor (3hp/ 6 peak hp Campbell-hausfield)is supposed to be rated 10cfm at 90 psi, but its not a huge tank. This DA works without but it sure runs out of steam fairly quickly, and I was forced to wait for my air compressor to catch up. If I had an air compressor that was able to maintain a higher CFM this DA would be perfect for it.

New Air Pressure Regulator 1/4" w/ Free Gauge

New Air Pressure Regulator 1/4' w/ Free Gauge
  • New 1/4" Air Pressure Regulator 25 CFM mini Series w/ free gauge
  • Free Gauge
  • Arrow Pneumatics
  • 5 - 125 PSI standard

Shipment arrived in two days. I can't even leave feedback until after 6 more days. This regulator and gauge is better then the original Norgren setup that came with my 5HP Campbell Hausfeld compressor. This regulator has two ports for the gauge. One on each side. This allows the user the flexibility to align and install the gauge on either side for the best view. A teflon-coated brass plug is provided to insert into the gauge port not used. A 3/16-inch Allen Wrench is needed to insert the plug. Once installed, this luxury feature prevents the regulator and gauge from interfering with the other controls on the compressor. And this gauge was free. Gauges usually cost as much as the regulator. I installed the regulator horizontal with the gauge facing up and clearly visible next to the tank pressure gauge. The entire unit is far more precise and sensitive than the original. I can adjust hose pressure accurately within a quarter pound. Frankly, I was not expecting this quality and features for $27.00. Simply install the regulator with the air-flow arrow pointing in the right direction. Cover all threads with Teflon tape before installing. I have no leaks and a compressor that functions better than new. This regulator will easily handle 125PSI working pressure. And just for extra safety, I use 200PSI hose. Hose sometimes get worn, crimped or twisted without the user being aware. Go ahead, let off some air.

This air regulator is one of the best that I've seen and used.

The construction is machined aluminum/heavy plastic, and the supplied guage is of a high quality, graduated in p.s.i. and bar. That being said, here's what sets it apart from the rest: you connect it to your air source and turn the knob to get your desired air pressure. If you turned too far, then you turn the knob 1/4 turn back and the air pressure backs off. You don't have to back it off 10 turns to release the pressure then try again. It is very easy and quick to set the pressure you want, and once the pressure it set, it stays there.

After dealing with what seems to be a sea of junk air regulators, I'd give this one 6 stars if I could. I highly recommend it.

Just installed this regulator on my portable compressor and it does seem to have reliable ajustment to it. The guage that came with it was made in china but the regulator was made here at least. I would recomend this to anyone that needs a quality regulator for there compressor.

I am posting this review in hopes that somebody will comment on it and tell me what's wrong.I honestly don't know if I am doing is something wrong or if this is a bad product. I think it's my fault.I've done extensive research on the web to find the source of this problem.

My Campbell Hausfield air compressor had a slow leak in it last summer. I used soapy water after unplugging it to try to find leaks. I found one but it continued to leak after I used teflon tape on that fitting.

I figured that i had a slow leak that I could not see in my old regulator. I replaced it with this one. First thing I noticed was that the knob comes off too easily. I'll fix that with some glue when i get around to it. The next thing I noticed was when I tried to cut the pressure back in my line air escapes forcefully out of this regulator. If I allow this to happen my compressor wil be coming on and off a lot more than I like. NO AIR ESCAPES when I have it fully open.My old one did not do that. I still think I have done something wrong so I refuse to downgrade this regulator. When i find out either way I will update this review and grade it accordingly.

I did really like the price of this unit and the fact that it came with an extra gauge. It looks to be of good quality material. That's another reason I think the fault is me.

Did I eventually find my leak??? No...I did not..Even with extensive use of soapy water. My compressor also has a habit of throwing a breaker when it comes on. I'm thinking the valve in the fitting that is between the compressor motor and the tank is bad. It's also possible that the air is leaking back in the motor itself. This compressor is only 8 years old and it is not in frequent use. If the leak is in the motor I'll probably sell this unit as a parts only compressor. I'm tired of dealing with it. OH...shutting this regulator completely off does not help. It's still leaking back in the unit itself.

As I said at the start I will really appreciate helpful comments on this problem.

The regulator works perfectly for my old compressor. It is very easy and quick to set the pressure you want, and once the pressure it set, it stays there.

KD Tools 3546 Telescopin g Air Gun

KD Tools 3546 Telescopin g Air Gun
  • Stainless steel shaft
  • 1/4" FNPT inlet
  • Inlet pressure: 130 PSI or less

This little air gun does what it says. It is not fancy, or heavy duty, or professional, but it certainly works. I would have preferred an angled tip and a more professional product, but too be honest I don't think anybody makes that anymore. I had an old one, maybe 40 years old, that was great. This little gun is quite inexpensive so you get your money's worth. I just think the straight tip is not that practical.
